Re: Need old Michigan Indain Trail and Stage coach trail maps

I have been looking for the same thing in Missouri. I can't believe how hard it is to find these maps. The only luck I have had have been library's and the courthouse and it wasn't anything really helpful. Nothing online yet but if I find a good site I'll let you know. Good luck

Yes it is. At one time it was basically the only route to Chicago. A bit of trivia...the city of Novi, which is on Grand River Rd. was so named because it was at one time only known as stop No. VI headed West out of Detroit. Another piece of trivia is the New Hudson Inn also located on Grand River Rd. a few miles West of Novi is (or was) the oldest continuously operating liquor license in the state.
